Heart vs. Head: which one would you follow?

Are you a
heart-follower or head-follower when it comes to decisions? Did it happen to
you that you wanted one thing so badly you tried and tried but never closed
doors to other options and eventually you got the second of your preferences?
And if the first option reappears as possible…would you immediately switch to
your previous one or would you doubt?

Well my
ladies, you can guess in which situation I am now –otherwise I would not
dedicate a blog post to it. After some drama around the office and even
colleagues telling me to cancel and go for the first option, I of course paused
everything. Now I have both options waiting
for a response. Let’s name them heart-option and head-option.

Heart option offers a wide range of entertainment and
feeling of bigger city. I would have some help when being a foreigner in such a
place since I know someone I already talked about in this blog. That someone comeswith a story and I still feel the-one-to-blame and l I feel I need to spend
some time with him (no intentions) to feel better. I would also love to blog
about that place. However the project itself would get difficult and would
require more work…

Head option fits my project perfectly and the staff looks
quite eager to have me among their team. The atmosphere is very welcoming but
then when it comes to the place itself it just took my attention for basketball
reasons. I was told the city can be seen in a day and it’s not even the capital
so I would spend one week trying to find new things after work and maybe
regretting not being in a bigger city. I could not even attend to the
basketball games, if it helps to make my mind up.

Unlike an
online purchase, this decision would affect my constant what-ifs and
overthinking. And who knows it might affect me for the rest of the upcoming 10
years? Since I am quite a drama queen and hard-to-let-go of hypothetical
situations due bad decisions.

So as in
many situations, heart is saying “go” but head is asking a few more questions
before plunging into this adventure. All friends and family seem to be
heart-followers so far, but head is oh so stubborn. Is it time to switch from
being a head-person to a heart-person? Most of my decisions are following my
head and critical thinking; after all, I may be the queen of the rational
wait-and-see approach when it comes to handsome strangers –instead of going
after them.
